Default Installing a Auto Meter tach!

I am really exited right now! I just got back from the post office and look at what finally came in! One of these!
I do have a question however. Will I have an easy time installing an Auto Meter tach? Is it a breeze. I'm scared I'm gonna screw something up , even though I read the instructions!
By the way, I hate the guage setup in the CRX, so thats why I'm installing new instruments. No offence to those who like it. The half circles just dont look good! Thanks

I like the colbalt series, but its to expensive now.. going to wait a little while because the price will drop, or I'm just going to get the carbon fiber line.

If you read the intructions then you should be fine, its not that difficult.

it's not that hard to install. i wouldn't go selling your interior yet. I believe you have to have certain things in the car to stay street legal, one being the cluster!

yea it is a breeze. all u have to do is run the green wire under the hood and splice it with the blue wire coming off ur distributor. run the white to a switch(like ur headlight switch or u can install a different one) run the red to a power source and the black to ground. u need to clip the other 2 wires but make sure they still stick out of the tach alittle bit and then electical tape them. and thats it its not hard at all

Oh Boy, the center, now your passenger can tell you when to shift.

My thoughts exactly... should have just gone with a shiftlight... you already have a tach.
